Honing tool

A honing tool comprising:

• a tubular tool body having a first end section fastened in a tool shank and having an opposite end section comprising a cutting region with at least one honing-stick accommodating opening, wherein the honing-stick accommodating opening is continuous from an interior of the tool body to an outside of the tool body and accommodates a honing stick,
• wherein dimensions of the honing-stick accommodating opening and of the honing stick are matched to one another in such a way that the honing stick is accommodated in a radially movable manner, and essentially free of play in a circumferential direction of the tool body, between boundary surfaces of the honing-stick accommodating opening;
• and
• a honing-stick draw-in device for drawing in the honing stick during retraction of an infeed device comprising at least one elastically deformable supporting element which is supported with a pressure force, in a fitted state of the honing stick, on the one hand on a side surface of the honing stick and on the other hand on a boundary surface, opposite the side surface, of the honing-stick accommodating opening;
• wherein the honing stick comprises a recess on the side surface in a guide section configured to interact with the honing-stick accommodating opening,
• wherein the elastically deformable supporting element is arranged in the recess,
• wherein the elastically deformable supporting element projects beyond the side surface of the honing stick in a relieved state, and
• wherein the elastically deformable supporting element, in a fitted state of the honing stick, is partly deformed and is supported with a pressure force on the boundary surface, opposite the side surface, of the honing-stick accommodating opening.

A honing stick comprising:

• a body having a plate-shape;
• a radial outer side with bonded cutting material grains;
• a radial inner side having a flat sloping surface to interact with a complementary flat sloping surface on a bottom end of an infeed rod of a honing tool;
• a guide section with rectangular cross-section matched to a rectangular cross-section of a honing stick accommodating opening of the honing tool, the guide section formed between the radial inner side and the radial outer side of the honing stick;
• a recess on a side surface in the guide section configured to interact with the honing-stick accommodating opening of the tool body of the honing tool,
• an elastically deformable supporting element arranged in the recess,
• wherein the elastically deformable supporting element projects beyond the side surface of the honing stick in a relieved state.

A honing tool comprising:

• a tubular tool body having a first end section fastened in a tool shank and having an opposite end section comprising a cutting region with at least one honing-stick accommodating opening, wherein the honing-stick accommodating opening is continuous from an interior of the tool body to an outside of the tool body;
• a honing stick accommodated in the honing-stick accommodating opening;
• wherein dimensions of the honing-stick accommodating opening and of the honing stick are matched to one another in such a way that the honing stick is accommodated in a radially movable manner, and essentially free of play in a circumferential direction of the tool body, between boundary surfaces of the honing-stick accommodating opening;
• wherein the honing stick comprises a groove on a side surface in a guide section configured to interact with the honing-stick accommodating opening, the groove extending over an entire length of the honing stick;
• an elastically deformable supporting element is arranged in the groove;
• the elastically deformable supporting element projects beyond the side surface of the honing stick in a relieved state;
• and
• the elastically deformable supporting element, in a fitted state of the honing stick, is partly deformed and is supported with a pressure force on the boundary surface opposite a side surface of the honing-stick accommodating opening,
• wherein the elastically deformable supporting element fills the entire length of the groove, such that a gap formed between the side surface of the honing stick and the opposite boundary surface of the honing-stick accommodating opening is substantially sealed off in a radial direction by the deformable material when the honing stick is inserted into the honing-stick accommodating opening.
